Juniper Networks is upping competition with Cisco, VMware and other enterprises taking up space in the cloud market with the introduction of Contrail Enterprise Multicloud at the company’s NXTWORK conference.
Juniper is a provider of networking devices like routers, switches, network management software, network security products and software-defined networking (SDN) technology. Juniper originally purchased SDN company Contrail in 2012, releasing a line of Juniper Contrail products to the open source community the following year. OpenContrail serves as a scalable network-virtualization control plane, which provides both SDN and security.
